Yahoo is a technology company that was founded in 1994 and is known for its web portal, search engine, and various online services. The company was originally called “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web,” and was later renamed Yahoo, an acronym for “Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle.” Yahoo was one of the first companies to provide a range of internet services, including search, email, news, and finance. In recent years, Yahoo has undergone several changes and has focused on providing digital media and advertising services. In 2017, Verizon Communications acquired Yahoo’s internet business, and the company is now a part of the Verizon Media Group.
